At the dinner table, as people clinked glasses, they started chatting.

Wang Hao got a basic understanding of the situation at this steel factory.

There are about over three hundred people in this steel plant.

More than two hundred men and over a hundred women.

Zhao Hu and Yang Tian are newcomers.

Zhao Hu came first and eliminated the original boss here, naturally becoming the leader.

Yang Tian came later.

He's very strong and picked up a group of followers on the way. Although he's the second-in-command after arriving, there seems to be some rivalry with Zhao Hu.

The two of them have their own territories and don't cross each other's paths.

However, if an outsider invades or a horde of zombies attacks, they will unite to fight the enemy.

Of course, the specifics of how Zhao Hu eliminated his predecessor and made the people here submit to him,

as well as how Yang Tian managed to break through, are details that he doesn't know yet.

And it's not easy to ask casually.

During the meal, Wang Hao occasionally glanced at the woman behind Yang Tian.

Although very subtle, it didn't escape the eyes of Zhao Hu and the others.

"Haha, Younger Brother Wang, we have many women here, some are top-notch beauties, even including famous ones.

After dinner, I'll send some of my private collection of women over to you."

Zhao Hu laughed heartily.

He interpreted Wang Hao's actions as a longing for women.

Which is quite normal, since Wang Hao didn't have any women by his side.

Just a little girl.

What can such a small child do?

Probably his little sister or something.

"Brother Hu, I think Younger Brother Wang has his eye on my girl. No need to go far for what's nearby."

Yang Tian turned his head, glaring at the beauty, and coldly said:

"Hurry up and kneel over to Younger Brother Wang! Can't you see? Serve him well. If Younger Brother Wang isn't satisfied, I'll let the zombies feed on you."

The woman's face turned pale instantly.

She instinctively moved.

Since Wang Hao and Yang Tian were sitting next to each other, she simply changed direction to reach Wang Hao's side.

"Didn't you hear to serve him?"

Seeing the woman not moving, Yang Tian was a bit angry.

The woman shuddered all over, then slipped under the table.

Then, Wang Hao felt his shoe being gingerly removed by someone.

The next moment, his eyes widened, a tingling sensation coming over him...

Goodness gracious!

Playing this stimulating, huh?

He's never considered himself as someone falsely upright.

Since it feels good, why resist?

Moreover, when someone offers you hospitality, rejecting it would be very disrespectful.

It's important to understand the ways of the world.

"Haha, Younger Brother Wang, come on, let's have a drink."

Seeing Wang Hao accept, Yang Tian laughed heartily, raising his glass to propose a toast with Wang Hao.

Wang Hao didn't refuse, lifting his glass and clinking it with Yang Tian's.

He wasn't one of those naive young dudes in novels who think that with a little strength, they can act above it all.

This Zhao Hu and especially Yang Tian must have something going for them.

Especially this Yang Tian.

If he could carve out a piece from someone as ruthless as Zhao Hu and stand toe to toe with him, it's unlikely he'd be a pushover.

Better not to make enemies if possible.

He plans to leave after resting here for a day, unwilling to stir up trouble.

Might still have to discuss some cooperation afterward.

"Go bring Zhou Yun here."

Zhao Hu's expression changed, not expecting Yang Tian to steal a march on him.

"Brother Hu, no need, no need, we're eating! Let's talk about it later."

Wang Hao quickly intervened with a smile.

He was already having a hard time handling this one, if another came, he'd probably scream.

"Exactly, exactly! Brother Hu, don't you trust the service abilities of my people?"

Yang Tian also chuckled.

Zhao Hu: ...

He glanced at Li Qian on the side.

Then looked at Zhao Meng.

With a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

What a pity!

Li Qian is Zhao Meng's girlfriend. Before the apocalypse, Zhao Meng was already pursuing Li Qian, treating her as a goddess.

Even after the apocalypse, he kept acting as her loyal follower.

If Li Qian were to serve, Zhao Meng would certainly flip out.

"Younger Brother Wang, what's the situation like in the downtown area? I heard there's a zombie tide?"

In his helplessness, he could only talk about some real issues.

Yang Tian's expression also turned serious at this point.

They are relatively close to the city center here, so if a tide of zombies approaches, they would be in deep trouble.

"Yeah, the zombie tide was quite large, but there's a settlement there, filled with soldiers, and abundantly stocked with weapons and ammunition.

That wave of zombies was scattered by them, so you're temporarily safe here."

Wang Hao briefly explained.

"Oh? That's good to hear!"

Several people clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

But judging by their looks, they seemed unimpressed with the settlement.

Which puzzled Wang Hao a bit.

Normally, upon hearing about soldiers, abundant armaments, and a successful defense against a zombie tide,

people would want to go there!

In the apocalypse, safety comes first.

This steel plant is decent, but lacking sufficient firearms is a major flaw.

If a large zombie tide were to hit, they definitely wouldn't withstand it.

Even without a second-level monster, it would be the same.

Could it be they have some trump card?

Suddenly, Wang Hao's heart trembled slightly.

Could it be they are superpower users?

Recalling Zhao Meng's earlier behavior, Wang Hao increasingly felt this was the case.

"Have any second-level monsters appeared here?"

Wang Hao's eyes shifted as he prepared to probe them with some intelligence.

"Second-level monsters?"

Several people looked clueless.

"They are evolved ghouls or zombies, especially ghouls that evolve. They are small, very fast, love to eat human hearts, have tough skin, and extremely sharp claws.

I call them Heart-Eating Ghosts!"

Wang Hao explained simply.

"Oh, those things? We've seen a few, definitely more troublesome than ghouls."

Zhao Hu realized, somewhat aggrievedly saying:

"Previously, they infiltrated and killed quite a few of my people, but I eventually took them down."

"Those things are indeed a bit troublesome. During a small-scale zombie tide here, we also ran into a few."

Yang Tian took a sip of wine, smacking his lips:

"So they evolve from ghouls; I wonder if these Heart-Eating Ghosts can evolve further!"

Admittedly, this guy's mind is turning quickly.

"Theoretically, yes, but I've never seen it."

Wang Hao shrugged, truthfully saying.

"Boss, what should we do about this? Heart-Eating Ghosts aren't a big deal, but the monsters that might come after…"

Zhao Meng looked worriedly at Zhao Hu.

"Not much of a problem, monsters can get stronger, but so can we."

Zhao Hu's gaze became incredibly sharp, like a bloodthirsty beast.
